Psyche Best Re-interpretation of a Greek Myth "Garrett Fisher and his first-rate team of collaborators throw a lot at you in his latest opera, a Greek-myth feast of song, dance, spoken word, beats, electric viola, and elaborate puppets/costumes." --Seattle Weekly "Psyche takes the prize for disarming novelty." --Richard Campbell, Seattle Post-Intelligencer Moon in the Bucket "a haunting, ineffably lovely choreographed oratorio" --Time Out NY Agamemnon "When Agamemnon was presented as a work-in-progress at last years Northwest New Works Festival at on the Boards, it had real promise as a work of significance. The music was haunting and the integration of movement skillfulThose elements are even more fully realized in the now-complete hour-long opera." --Alice Kaderlan, Seattle Post-Intelligencer 'The performance presented last week at the Nippon Kan Theaterutilizing the choreographic talent of Christy Fisher, music and words by Garrett Fisher, and masks by Louise McCaggwas nothing less than brilliantFully using the clean, simple core of the Nippon Kan Theater, dance, theater and Taiko music melded for one heck of a performance." --Rajkhet Dirzhad-Rashid, Seattle Gay News "Fisher casts the same dancer, Teresa Mathern, as both the murdered daughter, Iphigenia, and as CassandraIts a clever stroke. Mathern, who has a beautiful, angular face and body..projects an intense vulnerability...It's a thrilling finale when Clytemnestra takes the knife (handed her by Fate)..She follows him (Agamemnon) off-stage where as in all good Greek tragedy, the execution takes place. But instead of the usual offstage scream we are given a quiet dignified dance by Fate." --Mary Murfin Bayley, The Seattle Times "Agamemnon..a collaboration between composer Garrett Fisher and choreographer Christy Fisher had kernels of real power." --Alice Kaderlan, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
